Ongoing assessment(s): Each day the students will fill out a “where we are” check list in the first six minutes of the project time frame of the class. Accommodations for Diverse Learners:
Create a visual model (completed example) scaffold with interactive component that is broken down in simple terms. This gives the students who are visual, kinesthetic, spatial and intrapersonal an example of how to create their own. Backup plan: The students will create an alternative form of presentation via digital tool.
EVALUATE AND EXTEND
Assessment: Create a rubric on rubistar.4teachers.org with specific objectives and tasks for the individual and for the group. This rubric will outline the work that needs to be done to clarify how to earn the grade.
